T01389 resulted from laying a unit identical to those used in ‘5 x 1’ (T01390) on its side. With the long U-beam lying at an angle, the sculpture had the romantic connotations of a fallen column in a ruin. The simple expedient of repeating the plate at one end of the beam at the other ‘free’ end, removed the rhetorical element. The more emotionally neutral quality of the suspended regular horizontal brought into stronger unison the interdependent expressive and formal aspects of the work.
